NAMM COVERAGE: Pearl Releases Innovative Djembass System
January 19, 2009 in Events, Gear, News by Carter
The good folks at Pearl have released another innovative piece of gear. I’ve seen guys use auxiliary percussion in a kit setting before. Former cast member Ian “The Whipping Boy” McClellan used a djembe as a snare with congas as his toms once. But this is taking it to another level. Doesn’t look like the popcorn snare comes with it, but if you put all this together, you would definitely have a hip setup.

If you want extreme low-end, and a head-turning alternative to a standard bass drum, look no further than to Pearl’s DjemBass. Convert our most popular PJF350 Fiberglass Djembe into a compact kick drum with the DjemBass accessory pack.
To reduce the attack and add greater “lows” we have included a cloth cap that stretches around the head. For smoother low-end with slightly reduced attack, slip the included neoprene disc inside, giving you two distinct sound options. Your pedal (not included) attaches via an I.S.S. type clamp to the Djembe’s stand mounting plate.
Model #: PJBS350
List Price: $115.00

More from Pearl's showcase at NAMM in Anaheim, CA. They've released a Jingle Cajon as part of their onslaught of gear. Looks pretty interesting to me. I like how this instrument sounds in my head. Looking forward to getting my hands on one. Cool video at Pearl's website.

First things first. This review would not have been possible without the guys at Fork's Drum Closet allowing me to occupy their practice room, tool around with a VERY expensive piece of equipment, and have access their wi-fi so I could do some background research on this pedal. They are supporting drummer-talk and the review monkey by allowing me review their gear so do me a favor and if my review is what convinces you ...
